You people who know me, you do also know I tend to disappear from time to time. I have had it rough to say the least. Been working on my doll, will hopefully post some new pictures of him "soon". I have come quite a long way.

So where the fuck have I been? Lets see, I have moved away from home under very difficult circumstances, I have been and am currently studying Japanese (feel free to try me out on that), I have sewn my own Lolita outfit, I have made two particularly good friends (might even be my best friends ever), I have totally neglected my poor website... hm. Well, I am starting to get back on my feet even if I feel... sore.

If you have any question regarding my dolls or how to make one, feel free to ask.

--- Frequently asked questions  ---

Is it hard to make a doll?
Depends. If you know how to mold and used clay before it might not be that hard. But it is a challenge never the less. I recommend everyone who has the courage to try.

Is it less expensive than buying a doll?
Ahh... no. Sadly. It is most likely much more expensive to make a doll than to buy one, but you will always have a special bond with a doll you've made.

A few lines about me

I am a  something something  with a boyfriend and a plush jellyfish named Kurage. I'm a nice person and my goal in life is to be happy and make the world a better place.
I like to draw, sculpt and write stories, even if I'm not particularly good at the latter. I have tons of stories in my head and would love a companion to write books with me some day.
I have a list over everything I want to do before I die.

I have become sick and other than that I still don't feel so good. I have been working with my doll a lot lately and he is coming together nicely.

Doll Project

Clay: Paperclay (Das)
Size: MSD, 47-50 cm
Gender: Male
Joints: Single jointed arms, double jointed legs.
Casted in: Not casted yet.

Since the past few months, I have been making my own paper clay ball jointed doll. He is 47-50 cm tall (MSD) and will look like a 16 year old boy (that is what I aim for at least.)
I have never owned a doll but I have tried to make one 3 times, this being the 3rd try. I will succeed on this try, I am sure.

If you have any question regarding my doll or how to make one, feel free to ask.

As I am the winner of Okashiicon Humon Drawing Contest, Malmö 2011, I won one personal artpiece from humon herself, :icohumon:.

I wanted her to draw this in her own style:



Which came out beautifullly:

First I would like to say THANK YOU FOR THE LLAMAS! I now have a super llama! Now, Could you help me get a albino one...?



I also want to be clear to all of you that I do not do commissions for the moment, not for free, not paid commissions. I will in the future, probably. But not now.



Hope you all are having a good time in the sun.

Cheers!
